Chapter 285: The Victor is Long Fu!
The dueling arena.
Xiong Ju and the dragonman youngster collided with each other once more.
Their fists and feet greeted each other’s body, seldomly protecting themselves.
This was quite similar to how the fight began.
But it was also rather different, they were both using their battle qi fully.
Unlike when they were probing each other and holding back.
They had pressed their battle qi to their limits, amplifying the might of every punch.
The surface of both bodies had a faint silver glow.
“This is?!”
After crossing blows for a moment, the dragonman youngster decided to retreat.
He covered his hand with his chest, gazing at Xiong Ju with bewilderment as his mouth constantly leaked blood.
“Penetration power.”
The answer flashed through the dragonman youngster’s mind.
Although he had amnesia, he still had common sense.
Penetration power was one of the classical battle skill attack techniques, its characteristics were distinct and everyone knew of it.
“I didn’t expect that the Gold Silk Chainmail would lose its effectiveness before it broke.” The dragonman youngster sighed to himself.
After Xiong Ju took the pill, each of his attacks had penetration power in them.
His attacks pierced the dragonman youngster’s defense and reached into the latter’s body, injuring and damaging him.
This struck at the dragonman youngster’s weak points.
Because the dragonman youngster didn’t have a regular dragonman bloodline, but rather the Flame Dragon King Bloodline.
The Flame Dragon King bloodline was a dragon bloodline.
The young man assumed a dragonman form because the dragon bloodline was incomplete.
Right now, he only had a Flame Dragon King bloodline concentration of 33%.
Henceforth, as the bloodline concentration increased, the young man’s form would gradually distance itself from a humanoid form and shift closer to that of a dragon.
Eventually, he would transform into a gigantic dragon.
A 33% bloodline concentration had more of an effect on the young man’s external appearance, turning him into a dragon with a human body.
This meant the dragonman youngster’s internals were still ordinary and weren’t benefiting from the Flame Dragon King bloodline.
“My armor is ineffective against penetration power.”
“Strange, why didn’t Xiong Ju use penetration power when we tussled before?”
“Was it because he just had a breakthrough in understanding this battle qi technique?”
“The information report didn’t say Xiong Ju knows how to use penetration power. There isn’t even rumors of him training himself in penetration power.”
“Was he secretly cultivating this, always hiding this trump card, or did he have a sudden flash of inspiration and out did himself?”
“Or perhaps this is the effect of the medicine he just took?”
A few guesses quickly flashed through the dragonman youngster’s mind.
“Wait a moment, perhaps…I am not lacking methods that can restrain penetration power.” The dragonman youngster had a burst of insight.
Before the battle, he had absorbed three sub-dragon corpses.
One of them was the fat ocean dragon abdomen.
After absorbing it, the dragonman youngster gained some of the fat ocean dragon’s bloodline, along with the corresponding bloodline transformation.
That transformation could increase the young man’s internal fat.
At the time, that transformation was judged to be useless by the dragonman youngster.
But in the current situation, it seemed…it could help the dragonman youngster somewhat?
The dragonman youngster wasn’t entirely convinced it would.
But he did it anyway.
Bloodcore – compound transformation!
A thick layer of fat appeared around his internal organs.
The dragonman youngster charged Xiong Ju again.
Both sides fought in fierce close quarters combat.
Xiong Ju’s penetration power easily brought through the dragonman youngster’s outer defenses and reached his internal organs again.
But after that, the fat blocked it.
The fat ocean dragon’s blubber was different from normal animal fat.
Its fat balanced toughness and hardness.
The fat ocean dragon could rely on said fat to resist alchemy ballista arrows!
This was the defensive method the fat ocean dragon used to survive.
By virtue of being able to exist and reproduce in this extraordinary world, the fat ocean dragon’s blubber’s capabilities could be inferred as such.
When the penetration power was blocked by the fat ocean dragon’s blubber layer, its might greatly decreased.
The fat ocean dragon’s blubber layer jiggled when struck by the penetration power.
The dragonman youngster had a very low concentration of the fat ocean dragon bloodline.
The dragonman youngster could only use the Bloodcore to give himself more fat.
After the fat jiggled, it was unlikely that the attack would shake and batter the dragonman youngster’s internals, rather the Bloodcore would immediately turn it back into magic.
Soon after, the Bloodcore would transform a new layer of fat ocean dragon blubber.
There was only one systemic problem, the dragonman youngster had to divert his attention to control the Bloodcore, enough to constantly transform the fat ocean dragon blubber layers in and out of existence.
Battle skill – Wreathed in Silver.
Battle skill – Power Punch.
Battle skill – Demolition Fist.
Battle skill – Machine Gun Fist.
Xiong Ju and the dragonman youngster fought in close combat, reaching the climax of the duel.
Both sides used battle skills continuously.
Nearly face to face, their battle skills collided with each other and produced violent gusts of wind and tempestuous impact waves.
The audience loved watching this sincere combat of the flesh and excitedly clamored and shouted.
Xiong Ju gradually fell into a disadvantage in this fierce struggle.
But he tenaciously persevered and believed firmly in the strength of penetration power.
A fierce blow occurred between them, and both sides took advantage of the reaction force to pull back a large distance.
They looked at each other as they gasped for breath.
Xiong Ju’s muscles were aching and weary, and hot sweat was steaming off of him.
The dragonman youngster’s mouth was leaking blood, and despite his fat layers, because of how close the battle was along with the frequency of attacks, it was very difficult for him to use the Bloodcore.
Therefore, his internal organs didn’t have a refined defense.
His internal organs were quite injured, and he had a massive amount of internal bleeding, yet the dragonman youngster was standing straight with glowing eyes, the fighting spirit in his mind burning like a flame, and the more it did, the greater his exuberance.
Xiong Ju looked at Long Fu. His eyes were sunken, and his face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes too were filled with the same staunch fighting spirit!
After breathing for a few second, they charged at each other at the same time.
Another round of close quarters combat began anew.
Both sides’ battle qi, stamina, spirit, and willpower were being spent ardently.
The seven apertures bled, and inner organs were hurt.
The duel continued.
Ribs broke, and the pain drew out cold air.
The duel continued.
An eye was ruthlessly pounded, and it swelled completely, no longer able to see.
The duel continued.
Not enough stamina, and like an oil lamp running dry, punches were sinking to as slow as a tortoise.
The duel continued!
The battle between the two became deadlocked.
Their battle qi and stamina had reached their limits.
Whether it was attack or defense, neither were as fierce as before.
The two sluggishly punched and kicked, as if a thousand catty burden was on them. They were also staggering and swaying. If any suddenly fell to the ground, the audience would not feel surprised.
However, regardless of if it was the dragonman youngster or Xiong Ju, both were wholeheartedly dedicated to this duel.
Their sore bodies and exhausted minds seemed to have left them.
Their blood was boiling hot with the carefree pleasure this kind of battle brought.
Unconsciously, everyone present sank into silence.
In the last round of battle, the dragonman youngster’s acoustics case had been broken.
The entirety of Snow Bird Dueling Arena could clearly hear their every heavy breath, every thud their fists made when they hit each other, and the occasional creaking of their weak bodies.
The silent audience did not show the slightest impatience.
They looked at the two men battling each other fiercely in the arena with admiration and emotion.
“This is an amazing duel, a wonderful duel.”
“In my many years, I have never seen such a marvelous duel.”
“They are both in a difficult situation precisely because they embody their tenacious fighting spirit. No matter how loses or wins, it is enough for the people to admire them.”
“They never had a moment of weakness; Long Fu used his intelligence during the fight while Xiong Ju used his emotions to empower himself. They are both true fighters!”
Some transcendents had their craving for battle aroused, and one by one, by secretly decided that after this duel finished, they would go look for someone to spar with.
Meanwhile, in the demon hybrid’s VIP viewing lounge.
The investigation staff was in the process of clashing verbally with Teng Dong Lang.
“We seriously suspect that your gang’s backbone has meddled in today’s duel.” The two investigators gazed frostily.
“Think clearly of what you just said. Can you assume the responsibility and consequences of that sentence?” Teng Dong Lang coldly let out.
The investigation staff also took a tough stance, “We were ordained to come here and have to test this place. This is our Snow Bird Dueling Arena’s right, and even though you are the Bayonet Gang’s leader, you don’t have the authority to block us.”
“How impudent!” The demon ringleader held up his fists, forcing himself to get up and show his teeth full of malice.
The investigation staff held up their chests and didn’t take a step back, nor did their gazes waver, “I forgot to tell you Lord Teng Dong Lang, our investigation order did not just come from our dueling arena’s master but also Snow Bird Harbor’s city lord.”
Teng Dong Lang instantly reached out and pulled the demon ringleader over.
When the demon ringleader heard the city lord was involved, he wanted to flee, but with Teng Dong Lang blocking him, he sat on his butt and coldly snorted, not continuing to kick up a fuss.
The two investigators were both snow elves. They first used magic, then many kinds of alchemy tools to obtain a verdict.
“Not long ago, someone used racial magic or a spell here. But the specific magic cannot be detected for the time being.”
When the investigator said that they looked at Teng Dong Lang and the demon ringleader deeply.
Because their destruction of the scene was too obvious.
The demon ringleader laughed, “Oh? Did you say magic, I saw that this place was too dirty and decided to use a cleaning spell scroll.”
“Speaking of that, how exactly do you clean this place? You know, you gave me a terrible experience.”
The demon ringleader made bogus accusations.
The investigator sneered, “Our investigation has reached this result, which doesn’t mean the others will be the same. Our abilities are limited, but you should know that there are many more capable people above us.”
“No matter if it is the Lord Arena Master or the City Lord, both can be dispatched.”
The demon ringleader’s smile suddenly went stiff.
Teng Dong Lang’s brows deeply wrinkled, feeling great trouble.
The at this time, a magic image appeared on the wall, showing the bitter struggle between Xiong Ju and the dragonman youngster.
It also had the quiet ambience of the audience.
When Teng Dong Lang saw this, his eyes twinkled with a sudden idea.
He took out an alchemy device from his pocket.
The Snow Bird Dueling Arena Master was also present.
Teng Dong Lang knew the arena master well, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to use this seating venue.
Then Dong Lang easily contacted the arena master.
“You see, old friend, I am the one who provided you this marvelous duel.”
“Look at the people’s reaction.”
This duel will be engraved into their memory and will be discussed enthusiastically for several years.
“Without the conflict between our Bayonet Gang and the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, without us choosing Snow Bird Dueling Arena, this duel wouldn’t have happened.”
“Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
“Old friend.”
The communication device was silent for a good while, then the dueling arena master slowly replied, “You’re not wrong.”
“I should thank you.”
“Let me recall my investigators.”
This is my gift of appreciation, are you satisfied?”
Teng Dong Lang smiled, “Very satisfied.”
When the two investigators heard the communication device, they glanced at each other, then asked to withdraw.
With this crisis solved, the demon ringleader whistled.
But after Teng Dong Lang glared at him viciously, the demon ringleader quickly lowered his head and knew it was time to shut his mouth.
Teng Dong Lang had solved his problem and now looked at the dueling arena.
Racial magic – Bear Roar.
Racial magic – Dragon Roar!
Xiong Ju and the dragonman youngster roared at each other.
Both tilted their heads back, their vision went black, their buzzed incessantly, their bodies wavered, and both staggered backwards.
The dragonman youngster recovered first, but his spinning vision was incapable of finding where Xiong Ju was.
He simply closed his eyes and used his memory to punch blindly.
The fists struck Xiong Ju’s chin.
Xiong Ju’s head tilted, and he fell to the ground with a loud rumble. He went unconscious and didn’t rise.
The dragonman youngster had exerted himself too much and also fell to the ground.
But he soon used his hands to push himself up, and after gasping for a good while, he barely got to his feet.
A dueling arena staff member walked in, and after quickly inspecting Xiong Ju, loudly declared, “This victor is Long Fu!”
A moment later, the cheers of the entire audience swept through like a tsunami.
“Long Fu, Long Fu!”
Thousands of people shouted the dragonman youngster’s name simultaneously.
Many people sat up from their seats, shook their arms, shouted endlessly, far more emotional than the victorious dragonman youngster.
Through this duel, the dragonman youngster had established his prestige in Snow Bird Harbor completely.
In the seating area for friends and relatives, Chi Lai and Men Shi relaxed.
They felt sincere joy and excitement for the dragonman youngster’s win.
“The commander won!” Men Shi radiated with delight.
“This victory did not come easy. This was not just a showdown between two people, it was more so a confrontation between the Bayonet Gang and our Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.” Chi Lai sighed ruefully.
Xiong Ju had gotten a lot of help from his gang, while the dragonman youngster had information reports, Zi DI’s medicine and other things that had been contributed by the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps behind him.
“How could the Lord Commander lose?” Lan Zao’s eyes shined, like one who had foreseen this.
The VIP lounge.
Teng Dong Lang stared at Long Fu in the magic image, his narrowed eyes glistening with cold sharpness.
The demon ringleader’s lips felt dry, feeling an imperceptible pressure pushing onto him.
Most of all, he was thinking about when he had to face the dragonman youngster, when he had to fight such a monster.
He asked Teng Dong Lang for help, “Lord Gang Leader, I am not Long Fu’s match. I fear the others are the same. It doesn’t matter if we lose, the crucial thing is our gang’s prestige…”
Teng Dong Lang coldly glanced at him, then said something that pleasantly surprised the demon ringleader, “Following this, you guys don’t need to act, I will deal with him personally.”
The demon ringleader excitedly stuttered somewhat, “Lord Gang Leader, if you fight him, Long Fu has no hope for victory!”
Teng Dong Lang was expressionless, “I didn’t say I would fight him physically.”
